Modeling of intelligent shortest distance route navigation system for tourist places with the aid of GPS & GIS

The accelerating interaction between technology and tourism has changed radically the efficiency and effectiveness of tourist guidance systems. This paper presents mobile e-tourism solutions for tourists with android smart phone. Authors propose an intelligent shortest distance route navigation system with the aid of integration of GPS with GIS. It uses object oriented programming to construct the navigation system. The system considers GPS data in real time and calculates the distance based on the latitude and longitude of the places already defined in the program and displays the places in the order of their distance from the current location. The user can decide the place of visit in the order based upon their distance.
